The Obama transition...
...just keeps getting better.
As somebody who voted against Hope and Change, naturally I am delighted.

They know that a deep recession will drop Federal revenues so much that they will never get Democrat pork going. So why not repackage it as the New New Deal?
Here's a deal for you, keep taxes low, and even Republicans will work for you.

I am beginning to feel sorry for some of the BDS whackos who elected Lord Obama. Sure, there is a long way to go but he has already taken out 3 liberal Senators (Obama, Clinton & Biden) and 2 dem governors, Napalitano and Richardson. And, he has employed a bunch of Clintonistas and got them off the street.
BTW, one of Richardson's key duties will, as always, be to find employment for Bill Clinton's cast off females.

He has offended the 'Netroots', especially Jane Hamsher and Markos Moulitas.
Good.
These people thirst for death, political death. Their childish and fervid fantasies of rage and revenge need to be taken for what they are, the petulant ravings of the mentally ill or emotionally primitive. Offending them at least indicates that Obama is pragmatic enough to want to be successful, and not such an idealogue that he would rather fail than antagonize the worst elements of his supporters. Ten thousand blog posts at Firedoglake are less important than Joe Lieberman's one vote in the Senate.
Where will they go in the next election? Vote for Ned Lamont for President?
"Useful idiots" comes to mind.
Let them have their little hissy fit. This proves that even the so-called well organized leftist 'Netroots' aren't as powerful as they think, and all this nonsense about how powerful the blogosphere is, is just so much hooey.
Parties, political parties matter, and are powerful because they can actually reward and punish in the 'meat world', not the virtual world of the blogosphere.
At least for the moment, reality has won.
